As Xiaozhi and Sakaki summoned Pokémon one after another, the challenge at Viridian Gym officially began.
"Giant Crab, use bubble light!"
Sakaki's purpose was to test Pikachu, but he had no interest in this lily root doll.
Therefore, facing the young challenger Xiaozhi, Sakaki did not hold back at all and directly let the giant claw crab take the lead in attacking.
"Cool cough~~~!"
Following Sakaki's command, streams of foam filled with water energy were spit out and hit at the lily root doll.
"Lily Root Doll, we can't admit defeat!
Use parasitic seeds!"
As a grass-type Pokémon, what it possesses is naturally its powerful battery life.
Although Lily Root Doll's level is not high, Xiaozhi still has full confidence in her.
"Doll~~~!"
Although Mu Chen's strength amazed Lily Gen doll.
But this little girl with a strong self-esteem still has the mentality of competing with her.
Now that the gym is challenging such an important competition, the owner Xiaozhi chose her to compete in the first battle, and the Lily Root doll is also eager to perform.
After receiving Xiaozhi's instructions, Lily Root Doll shot several seeds full of grass-type energy at the Giant Claw Crab without hesitation.
This is a parasitic seed that can slowly absorb the opponent's physical strength.
Not to mention the water-type Pokémon that is restrained by it, if other types of Pokémon fall prey to this trick, it will be much more difficult to defeat the grass-type Pokémon.
However, although Xiaozhi's idea is good and Lily Root Baby's attack speed is fast enough, their opponent is Team Rocket's boss, Sakaki.
"Giant Claw Crab, use Crab Punch to sweep away all these seeds!"
Similarly, as Sakaki's Pokémon, Giant Claw also quickly followed its master's command and waved its huge pair of pincers.
"Doll~~~!!"
However, the situation on the other side is different.
Although Lily Root Doll is extremely resistant to water-based skills, it depends on who the opponent is.
The giant claw crab's foamy ray instantly caused huge damage to Lily Root Doll after it hit her.
"Damn it! Lily Root Doll, use super absorption to restore your physical strength!"
Seeing that the Lily Root Doll was struggling to withstand even a burst of foam light, Xiaozhi knew that he was too much in this battle.
Although the attributes are restrained, the level difference is too big, and Lily Root Doll may not be a match for Giant Claw Crab at all.
"Doll~~~!"
With Xiaozhi's wisdom, Lily Root Doll endured the pain and shot out a emerald-green light at the Giant Claw Crab.
This is a super absorption that can absorb the opponent's physical strength to replenish one's own.
"Giant Claw Crab, ignore its super absorption, rush forward and use Crab Punch!"
Finding that the foam light could not take away the opponent, Sakaki decisively let the giant claw crab launch an even more violent attack.
"Cool cough~~~!"
I saw the Giant Claw Crab making a loud cry and at the same time, its silhouette quickly rushed towards the Lily Root Doll in a horizontal motion.
As for the super absorption that attacked it, it was completely ignored.
This little bit of damage can't cause any trouble to it at all.
"Damn it! Lily Root Doll, increase the intensity of super absorption!
Be careful to avoid the giant claw crab’s double claw attack.”
Seeing the Giant Claw Crab approaching, Xiaozhi's only way is to remind Lily Root Doll to protect itself.
However, the level difference between the two is really huge.
"Doll~~!!!"
Although Lily Root Doll tried its best to dodge, its speed was still much slower than that of the Giant Claw Crab.
In the end, the lily root doll was hit hard by the huge claws of the giant claw crab.
"The level of your lily root doll is too low. You'd better replace it with one that has more combat effectiveness."
Sakaki's thoughts were all about that Pikachu, which is why he chose the water Pokémon to fight.
Originally, according to his plan, when Ash saw his water Pokémon going into battle, he would definitely send an electric Pokémon that would restrain it, thus inducing Pikachu to go into battle.
However, Xiaozhi, the iron-headed boy, was so confident that he even ranked a low-level lily root doll, and Sakaki had no interest in continuing to play with him.
After quickly defeating Lily Root Doll, Sakaki looked at Ash Ketchum expectantly, hoping that this kid would send Pikachu to fight.
In this way, he can personally verify the quality of this Pikachu.
However, Sakaki was disappointed again.
"Damn it! Lily Root Doll, thank you for your hard work, come back.
Next, Gardevoir, it's up to you!"
Pikachu is his trump card, and of course Xiaozhi will not let it go into battle prematurely.
In a battle between three Pokémon, if you can defeat one or two before Pikachu goes into battle, wouldn't your chance of winning be higher?
Although Xiaozhi is stubborn, through constant accumulation of combat experience, this guy has also learned some calculations of gains and losses in battles.
"Huh~~~!"
Replacing the defeated Lily Root Baby, Gardevoir appeared in the competition venue with a cold look on his face.
However, when she was summoned, she glanced at the yellow-skinned mouse in Xiaoxia's arms with dissatisfaction.
You are such a heartless person and you stopped looking for me after you pushed me down. How long has it been? Why haven’t you come to me for a spar?
If I don’t exercise, I will get rusty!
Because he spent this time either on the boat or in the town, Muchen really had no chance to call Gardevoir and Menas out for a discussion.
And this also caused these two old ladies to be full of resentment towards him.
"Pica~~~!"
Damn it! What's wrong with you? It's only been a few days, so be patient and wait until we're out in the wild.
Now Mu Chen can naturally understand Gardevoir's complaints.
After hearing Gardevoir's appearance, he complained to himself, and Mu Chen also expressed his helplessness.
Damn it, is it so easy for me? Now I am almost becoming your sparring tool.
"Gardevoir? Trainer, I have to remind you.
If your Gardevoir is also defeated, then you will have the last Pokémon left that can go into battle."
Naturally, Sakaki couldn't understand the exchange between Pikachu and Gardevoir.
At this moment, what he was paying attention to was Xiaozhi.
Don't be so stupid as to create some Menas for me after Gardevoir's defeat.
Because of his status, it was really inconvenient for Sakaki to attack such a trainer on other occasions.
Therefore, Sakaki is very concerned about this test of Pikachu.
